You should URL encode the querystring part, which can be done using the UrlEncode method of the HttpUtility class:

 HttpUtility.UrlEncode(yourString);

You can do that by passing the target url through the UrlEncode method in the HttpServerUtility class. Example use, within a Page class:

string urlEncoded = Server.UrlEncode(this.Request.RawUrl);
